Question Template issues under alpha2

It make sense because you can add and position the kunena menu where you want. It's a normal mod_mainmenu module and the position where you it was before is kunena_menu

You can also make the Kunena menü part of your Top menü or side menu or whereever you want.

exactly, this is a great feature that the menu is now a joomla module. you can move it wherever you want now. if you are having problems, i would suggest you have the position that it is set to in the backend in your template that you are using

Am I expected to build the same menu for every single site that I have just like a regular Joomla menu?

This is extremely cumbersome and results in wasted time and resources.
Not to mention styling.

Is there any way to just add the original Kunena menu to the forum under J1.6?

Two things:

1.) Joomla 1.6 currently has a bug when it comes to creating menus programmatically
2.) That menu is created by our installer AND you can recreate it from the Kunena backend - just click the create menu icon - again for Joomla 1.5.18 this works just fine, on Joomla 1.6 there is a menu bug. We are working with the Joomla core devs to fix the issue.

Thank you for the clarification, I thought this change was intended.

same probleme on my installation. Doesn't matter what template I choose - the default template css is still used.

Also the "kunena.forum-min.css" file is used instead of the normal kunena.forum.css file. Can you tell us what's the difference?

This is a requirement for all new templates for Kunena. We minify all css and js to save space and speed up page loads.

Every template should ship with both the cleartext and a minified version.

So both files:

kunena.forum.css
kunena.forum-min.css

must be present to avoid errors. You can automatically create the minified version from your css if you have an automatic build - like we use for Kunena or you can minify your css before you zip it up through online tools like: refresh-sf.com/yui/

Simply copy and paste the css into the window - or select a file to upload, select css and hit compress (wrong word, as minification is not the same as compression).

In many cases the minified version of the css will be significantly smaller than the original, making site using that template perform much better and get better pageload stats. Nowadays google is starting to take page performance into consideration for its search results.

Hope this helps!

FYI: To All Kunena template designers: Submit your templates to the newly created Kunena Extension Directory (KED). We hope this will become the single central solution to lookup your templates easily.
